Technically the second shot isn't of the moon but of moonlight. With the zoom lens on the D70 and mounted on the telescope (taking advantage of the tracking motors for long exposures) it was focused off to the side of the moon and triggered for an 8 second exposure, ISO 1000, f/4.2, focal length 85mm. The sky was pitch black at the time and the clouds were lit up by moonlight. No PS touchup other than resizing.
